I am 5'1" female. Will I be able to put this up by myself? I often go camping alone and will have to set this up by myself.

I believe so. It can be tackled on corner at a time then raised one corner at a time. The trickiest part would be the extra awning piece but I think it would work! It's a great canopy. Have fun!

I would get a regular canopy with a side wall. This is super heavy. You definitely could do it, but I wouldn't

It's possible. It's really best to have two people to pull on opposite poles, but once you get it stretched out, lifting the top up isn't difficult. It's pretty heavy all in the carrying case, though.

It would be possible, but quite difficult-it is cumbersome and tall. I'm 5 feet and need assistance

Yes...One person can put it up...You will have no problem at all ....It's great..We use ours for camping and so people stop by and ask about. They never seen one like it and ask where we got it.

Yes, it can be done without much issue. Still much easier than a regular tent even with one person. It is a little heavy though so take it slow and easy and park close to where you will put it while unloading if possible. Have fun!

no it is not easy enough for one person....maybe once it is broken up and down a few times I think Ican get it up if one of the legs is in a fixed position like tied to a tree. But then I'm a girl.

I am 5'6" and when we first put it together we accidentally had my seat set too high so I could tell it would accommodate a woman taller than me quite nicely. We lowered the seat and fixed the problem for me. But what I would really recommend is calling the company directly and asking them. They were very friendly and accommodating to me when I called in the past.

I'm 5'8" and it is great. I am more comfortable by placing a soft pillow over it and lay on it. Knowing that the thickness of the pillow can help adapt for you height if needed. Good luck.

Not at all, it was easy for me to assemble on my own at 5'2 and 125lbs woman.

We set ours up in a normal camping area - size was okay. For your camping pleasure I would not leave one side down. It would take away from the structure support.

Well . . . putting the Coleman canopy up is very doable for a lone camper. I got the Coleman for my wife and her friends, who do a lot of camping without the men. My wife found that she is able to put the canopy up without any difficulty without anyone's help (in fact, she much prefers I not get in her way while she's doing it). She's in her 60s, is about 5'6", and a little more than 100 lbs. (she won't let me tell you how much more). She does advise that putting the Coleman up is not her first concern; it's carrying it to where she needs to put it up. As long as the carrying is not far, she's confident that she can manage it all by her lonesome. Well . . . putting the Coleman canopy up is very doable for a lone camper.

I do around 20 outdoor shows a year and I have no problem setting it up by myself. Trick is to push from the middle of the tent and push up so the canopy extends out then it makes it easier to snap the top part in.

I had no problem setting it up. Although it has small wheels, it wouldn't be particularly easy to move, especially for one person. My advice: set it up yourself or by one of their technicians, but find a place to use it and leave it there.

This would depend on your height. Im 5'8" and I can do these things in the tent. However my husband whos 6'5" would not be comfortable in this tent. Hope this helps.

I have never done it alone, but I do believe I could if I had to. The tent is not difficult to put up.

I would suggest to either not hanging it so high up or having a ladder. I haven't had th luxery yet of camping in mine but that's th way I would go. I've thought about bringing a ladder.

Yes ...It is a requirement of mine all camping equipment I buy must be capable of setting up by myself. Offset the poles fully assembled ..insert in center piece then one at a time either clock wise or counter clockwise start to raise support poles in increments... like halfway up work around raising each one until fully erected.As you erect then in stages hook the snaps on the poles don't try to hook them all until it is fully upright as you go around do some as you go on each pole. The corner hooks should not be done until almost fully upright.

It could if you don't mind spooning all night. It would be tough for two people. I'm 6'1" 225lbs and its perfect size. If I were to have my girlfriend with me I would get another to zipper them together, but you'd need a 4 person tent to house to of these big boys. Hope this was helpful enjoy your romp in the woods.

I would say yes. I am 5'4" medium build woman and I'm able to take it down on my own. It is heavy, so if you have a container with wheels to put it in, that is generally easier. Two people makes it easier, but it is possible to do on your own.
